HANDLE-BAR in BRAGG CREEK
The Handle-Bar in Bragg Creek offers day and multi-day guided hiking, biking, skiing, and snow adventures for all skill levels, and is geared to those who are not "extreme athletes" already. Our passion is providing the expert guidance, knowledge and equipment you need to safely explore new activities in Alberta’s beautiful mountain parks, whether you are a local, or visiting the Calgary, Bragg Creek and Kananaskis area.
Please note that West Bragg Trails area is part of the Kananaskis Region. You are required by the Alberta Government to have purchased a conservation pass to park your vehicle in this area. Link here to purchase your conservation pass:
Located in Bragg Creek’s iconic Old West Mall, our home-base and Living Room serves as a meeting point for the Handle-Bar community. Here we share, plan and feel adventure together. We offer a selection of refreshments and snacks inspired by the German, Austrian and Swiss kitchen with a unique service concept. We are a locally owned family business with German roots and educated in Austria.
Goal & Motto
Our goal and motto is to "Make the Extreme Accessible," as well as share our love and approach to backcountry adventure skill and interest group specific. That means that we provide family oriented adventures, day programs and overnight summer camps for children and adults, as well as trips for singles or specific age groups. We also offer trips with outdoor education themes, such as Animal Awareness or Back Country Navigation.
Mission
Our mission is to show and share how the backcountry can become accessible to you, your family, and friends in a safe and fun way. We measure our success in your ability to go out on your own, if you wish, after having had fun on one or a couple of trips with us.
Join us in spreading the joy and possibilities of backcountry adventures right here in our backyard. We want to show you how we grew up, loving the mountains. Come out with us for a day (or more!) and see what the backcountry has to offer.
